Weather in Athens
Most visitors pass through the capital during peak holiday season between July and August, many en-route to the islands. On the plus side, summer nightlife is in full swing with open-air bars, clubs, concerts and cinema, and beaches along the coast are open for bathing; on the downside, it can be very hot. Probably the nicest times to visit are between May-June or September-October, when the weather is warm and sunny, and attractions not too crowded. If you come in low season (November-April), you’ll experience Athens like a local – it may be too dull and chilly for sitting out, but the cultural scene will still be thriving.
